Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies

Happy National Cookie day!! I’ve recently gotten into such a baking frenzy and when I saw this recipe on A Beautiful Mess‘ website, I just knew I had to try it! So here’s my try at making chocolate covered cherry cookies. You can find the recipe below.

So, I was totally thinking that the base of this cookie recipe is so simple and could easily double as a basic chocolate chip recipe if you wanted`! But I love the addition of the maraschino cherries here as they add more flavor and a fun pop of texture. You could use dried cherries instead, but the softness of the maraschino (and sweetness level) is what makes these cookies remind me of chocolate covered cherries.

I also added about a pinch of sea salt to each of the cookies just before baking but it’s totally optional.

You can make this dough a day ahead and save in the fridge before baking or you could also freeze the dough if you want to keep it around longer. I love an easy and delicious cookie recipe for when you feel like a weekend baking session and these chocolate covered cherry cookies are the perfect thing to throw together!

I really hope you guys enjoy these so let me know in the comments what you think and if you bake these! I’d love to get some feedback on them 😉
